To create a general new task in the calendar, click on the + button at the top left in Nelio’s Editorial Calendar, and then click on Task:

Note that this option will only be available to subscribers. The following dialog will then pop up:

which contains the following fields:

• Task Description,
• Task’s Assignee, that is, who’s responsible for completing the task, and
• Due Date, or a deadline for completing the task.
• Colour marking to help you better identify the task.

Click on the first icon (c) to open the previous dialogue. If you use one of these icons, the new task’s due date will be automatically set to the selected day.
